Chapter 2 Use and safe operation precaution

The forklift driver and administrator must keep "Safety first" in mind, and operate forklift
safely according to Service Instruction and Driver Manual.

1. Transportation

Pay attention when transporting forklifts with cars or containers as follows:


1.1 . Apply the parking brake
1.2 . Fasten mast and counterweight with steel wire. Fill in the relevant position with wedge
firmly.
1.3 . Lift at the right place with “lift label” when lifting.

2. Deposit

2.1. Release coolant (but don’t release if the coolant is anti-rust or anti-freeze fluid)
2.2. Lay rust preventive oil on the on the non-lacquer parts, lay lube on the lift chain.
2.3. Put mast down to lowest position.
2.4. Apply the parking brake.
2.5. Fill in wedges under front wheels and rear wheels.

3. Preparative before operation

3.1 . Check the tightness of all the connecting parts and tight parts revealed.
3.2 . Check the hydraulic system for leakage, if there is enough oil in tank, enough lube in
lubricating system.
3.3 . Never smoke when checking fuel system and battery, and never refuel when running.
3.4 . Check if air pressure of tyre accord with prescription.
3.5 . Check if cooling system is normal.
3.6 . Check if there are bad junctures or short circuit in electrical system.
3.7 . Check free travel of footplates, and if all operating handles can reposition normally.
3.8 . Check steering system and brake system to ensure their agility and credibility.
3.9 . Check mast system to ensure carriage and mast can rise and fall smoothly.

4. Drive precaution

4.1 . Start of engine


【Put the switch at GAS or LPG—LPG forklift.】,then, Shift speed control lever in neutral
position, apply the parking brake, and then, turn on the power switch. The starter must not
work continuously over 15 seconds every time, start several times if the first startup fails,

9
but the intervals should not less than 2 minutes. If it fails for three times, check whether
there are troubles in oil channel and circuit or not. If it is true, eliminate the troubles and
then start again, don’t start up it continuously for a long time. The engine should run idle
for about 5 minutes after startup, don’t use it with full load until the coolant temperature in
engine reaches 65℃.
4.2 . Check before/after operation
When running the engine idle, check if the reading of coolant temperature meter, oil
pressure meter, current meter and fuel oil meter accord with prescriptions, check free
travel of foot pedal, check parking brake system and service brake system. Test lifting and
falling of masts, front and back tilting, turning and braking. Loosen the parking brake
system after making sure all the troubles are eliminated.
4.3 . Stopping of engine
Idle the engine about 5 minutes so that it can be gradually cooled, control flameout guy
(put the ignition switch of electromagnetic flameout device at OFF position) ,【hold the
oil and gas switch in the middle OFF position--LPG Forklift】, and engine will shutdown.
【If the machine is stop because of lack of GAS or LPG during the operation, simply shift
the switch to a fuel position and restart--LPG Forklift】.

5. Safety precaution
Safety

5.1. Forklift is special vehicle, only the driver with license can drive it. Maintenance of
forklifts should be operated by educated and eligible workers in order to make sure
forklift can be used normally.
5.2. When operating the forklift, workers should wear shoes, hats, clothes, and gloves that can
protect their safety.
5.3. When the distance between the barycenter of cargo and fork arm is 500mm, the max
capacity is the rated load, the load should be within prescription.
5.4. When the distance is further than 500mm, the load should decrease according with the
load graph. Otherwise, never load.
5.5. The forklift is fit for flat and firm road. Grease on the road must be erased.
5.6. Before and after using the forklift, check it daily so as to operate it without troubles next
time. When the forklift is working, if abnormal situation is found, stop the forklift to
check it. Don’t operate it until the failure is eliminated.
5.7. Keep the handle still when operating the other handle. Don’t manipulate handles unless
you sit on the driver’s seat.
5.8. Don’t load incompact cargo. Carry big cargo carefully.
5.9. The forklift with attachments ordered specially can be used more extensively. But the
attachments will reduce the load and stability of the forklift. Don’t use such fixture in
10
other aspects. Read our additional direct and comply with our request, don’t rebuild
them privately.
5.10. Don’t pluck up the embeddings (if necessary, compute pluck up force firstly).
5.11. Adjust the distance of tines according with the cargo when carrying. The load should be
shared by two forks lest the cargo surge to one side. Don’t load anything with one tine.
5.12. If a load blocks the driver’s view, travel in reverse.
5.13. Put the fork to the ground when loading. After the forks inserting into the cargo, the
fork arm should contact the cargo, and then, tilt the mast to utmost position. Travel till
the forks raise 200mm-300mm above.
5.14. Make sure there are no persons below the fork when raising or falling the cargo. Don’t
raise person with forks.
5.15. Make sure the mast is vertical and the brake system is applied when operating.
5.16. When raising cargo, step the accelerator properly according to cargo weight and then
handle the lever.
5.17. The cargo drops because of the . Reduce the speed of engine and pull the lever slowly
to make the cargo drop gradually.
5.18. The moving of implement valve lever can control the speed of raising or landing of
cargo. The muzzle velocity should be small no matter raising or landing.
5.19. Apply the brake before tilting mast. When tilting forward, reduce the accelerator and
tilt slowly so as to prevent cargo from slipping.
5.20. For the forklift with high raising travel mast, tilt back as possible as it can, and tilt
within the permitted minimum range when loading or unloading. Never travel or turn
with the fork raised.
5.21. Prevent cargo above from falling when driving a forklift with high travel mast over 3
meters, adopt safety methods if necessary.
5.22. The overhead guard is used to protect the driver from objects’ falling. And serious
accidents may happen if it is flexible, removed or rebuilt.
5.23. The load backrest prevents cargo loaded slipping to operator. Accident may happen if it
is flexible, removed or rebuilt.
5.24. The height of cargo loaded should less than that of load backrest, if not, the cargo may
slip to operator.
5.25. Be careful of the influence of wind when working outdoors.
5.26. Be careful and travel slowly when traveling at dock or temporary plank.
5.27. When traveling with load, never tilt the mast forward, never load and unload cargo, or
never apply brake abruptly, otherwise, the cargo may slip.
5.28. The forklift should travel into cargo storage area at a low speed; also, notice if there
are bulgy solid objects lest the tyres are stabbed.
11
5.29. Pay ATTENTION to people, barrier and/or pit on the ground and the overhead
clearance;
5.30. Never throw out hands, feet and any parts of body out of cab, keep driver alone in cab.
5.31. Never turn and travel transversely when working on a slope, or else, the forklift may
turn over. Travel forward when uphill and backward when downhill if the ramp is steep.
Apply the service brake system when downhill. Never shut off the engine when
traveling on slope.
5.32. Start, turn, run, brake and stop smoothly, speed down the forklift when turning on dank
or slick road.
5.33. Never start, turn, run, brake or stop abruptly. Incorrect operation may make the forklift
turn over. If an accident happens, keep calm and don’t jump down, grasp the steering
handwheel and incline to the contrary direction of turning over.
5.34. Never stay on truck and shut off the engine when refueling. Never inflame when
checking battery or oil level.
5.35. Tilt back the mast when stopping or running the engine idle. Never leave the forklift
out of sight in this case, and never leave the seat with cargo raise above.
5.36. Refuel after working for one day, which can prevent humidity in oil tank from
coagulating to mix with oil.
5.37. Never shift in reverse gear before the forklift stops, otherwise components or parts
could be damaged.
5.38. Apply the parking brake system, lower the fork to ground, shift in neutral position, and
turn off the engine or power switch before leaving the forklift. Apply the parking brake
when stopping on the slope, fill wedges under wheels if stopped for a long time. Never
park the forklift on steep slope.
5.39. Do not open the radiator cover randomly when engine is still hot.
5.40. The pressure of Mutiple-way valve and safety valve is adjusted by factory. Never
adjust it lest high pressure damage the hydraulic system and parts.
5.41. The air pressure of tyres should accord with prescribed “Tyre pressure”.
5.42. When traveling on flat and firm road, the max noise out of forklift is 89db(A;)by the
method of sound power method(7 meters from forklift), but the value will fluctuate
with the change of road condition.
5.43. The driver will feel the vibration of forklift with traveling on flat and firm road, and the
degree of vibration will fluctuate with the change of working of environment.
5.44. The emission of exhaust gas of forklift accords with prescription of Chinese
government, smoke density of the diesel engine made in china should less than 5 Bosch,
the CO thickness of gasoline engine made in china should less than 5%, the HC
thickness should less than 2500PPM, if engines made in other countries is used, the
12
emission of exhaust gas accord with Euro Ⅱ emission standard. The harm of exhaust
gas is inevitable, never drive forklift in airtight space, for the exhaust gas may choke the
driver.
5.45. Pay attention to and be familiar with the function of labels on forklift.
5.46. The forklift is used below an altitude of 1000km, and the temperature should be
between -15℃ and 35℃. Please operate carefully in other bad condition.
Complementarity
Complementarity:: The drivers should get on and off the forklift by the left side. Never get
on or off on the right hand side.

6. Daily Maintenance
6.1 Maintenance summary

Summary

The mechanical drive device consists of transmission of synchromesh and differential.


The transmission with synchromesh refers to Figure 3.1
3.1.1 The transmission with synchromesh
(1) Power transmission of transmission
The mechanical transmission is primarily composed of a driving shaft, an output shaft, a
spindle and an idler shaft (used for reverse gear), each shaft is equipped with the gear with
one type of tooth or several different types of teeth, these gears realize gear shift through the
shifting lever via two sets of shift sleeve synchronizers, the power of engine is transmitted to
the driving wheel via the low speed gear, the differential gear and semi-shaft.

Neutral position (neutral)——the power from driving shaft is transmitted from the constant
mesh input gear and duplicate gear to high speed gear and low speed gear, because the gear
shift mesh sleeve of controlling speed and direction is at the neutral position, the spindle
output gear and output shaft won't transmit, so the power can't be output.
Gear shift position——when the gear shift lever is operated, the shift fork will drive the
mesh sleeve to move, and the gears will be meshed via the synchronizer. Dynamic
transmission procedure is as follows: Driving shaft → Input gear → Duplicate gear → High
speed or low speed shift gear → Synchronizer → Spindle → Synchronizer → Backward
gear or forward gear → Output gear → Output shaft realizes power output.

3.1.2 Reductor and differential
The reductor is in front of the transmission to decrease the speed transferred from the
transmission and increase the torque from the output shaft then transfer the torque to the

28
differential. It consists of two spiral bevel gears of the different size on the output shaft and
a shaft of which the gear is small(shaft2 for short below),the bigger spiral bevel gear is
mounted on the shaft 2 of which both ends are supported by the taper roller bearing and of
which the clearance is adjusted by the gasket.
The differential is mounted on the front semi-housing by the ball bearing on both ends. The
front of the differential is connected to the axle house. The differential house consists of two
solar gears and four planet gears. The thrust washer is mounted between the transmission
housing and the gears to make the clearance of the gear pairs. The planet gear is supported
by gear shaftⅠand gear shaft Ⅱ. The gear shaft Ⅰis fixed by the parallel pin and the ring
gearⅠis fixed by the pin joint bolt on the differential housing.
The power from the transmission is decreased via the reductor and is transferred to the drive
wheels via axle shaft gear and the axle shaft.

4.2 The torque converter

The torque converter consists of a pump wheel, a turbine and an idle wheel. The structure
refers to Figure 4-2.
The pump wheel is driven by the input shaft. The oil ejects fiercely along the pump wheel
vane by the centrifugal force thus it transferred the torque to the output shaft. The oil which
departs from the turbine change the direction by the idle wheel, thus one part of the oil
returns to the pump wheel by certain angle. Meanwhile it arouses the reactive torque which
drives the idle wheel is part of the output torque. When the speed of the turbine approaches
near or to the input speed, the oil flow angle reduces and output torque decreases. At last,
the oil gets into the idle wheel vane at the opposite direction thus it makes the reactive
torque the opposite direction. So the torque of the input shaft is less than that of the output
shaft. In order to prevent this, we must make sure that the overrunning clutch in the idle
wheel could run freely when the reactive torque work oppositely.
This type of torque type ensures the efficiency and stability.
The torque converter of the drive part is connected with the engine flywheel by the elastic
board, and rotates with the rotation of the engine. There is full of transmission oil in the
torque converter. The drive gear which is attached to the pump wheel by two pawls drives
the oil pipe which provides the oil to the torque converter and the transmission. The turbine
is connected to the turbine shaft by the spline, and its power is transferred to the drive
transmission via turbine shaft.

Figure 4.2 Torque converter

4.3 Hydraulic clutch

The wet type multi-hydraulic clutch is installed on the input shaft of hydraulic transmission,
the pressure oil is distributed to the forward or backward clutch via the control valve, to
realize forward and backward gear shift. All the gears in the transmission belong to constant
mesh gear. Each clutch is composed of four spacers, four friction plates and a piston
assembled in phase-phase mode, the spacer and friction plate are separated, when gear is
shifted, the oil pressure acts on the piston, the spacer and the friction plate are compressed
mutually, form an adapter via the friction force so that the power from the torque converter
can be transmitted to the driving gear.
The power transmission procedure from torque converter to hydraulic transmission is as
follows:
Turbine → Input shaft assembly → Spacer → Friction plate → Forward gear or reverse gear
→ Output shaft.

4.4.4Overflow valve: the overflow valve connected with the transmission case can maintain the
torque converter oil pressure between 0.5MPa and 0.7MPa, to prevent loss;
4.4.5Inching valve: The inching valve is installed outside of transmission, the spool of valve is
connected on the link rod of inching pedal, when the inching pedal is stepped down, this
spool will move to the right, and the oil pressure of hydraulic clutch will be reduced in
short time so that the forklift can reach inching effect.

4.5 Transmission case

The transmission case is not only installed with the mechanism of input shaft and output
shaft, it's also used as oil tank, the bottom is equipped with an oil filter I (filter screen has
150 mesh) to filter and sucked oil of oil feed pump, the tube filter II, oil filling cap and oil
level device are installed on the case cover.

4.6 Oil feed pump

The oil feed pump is installed between the torque converter and input shaft, utilize the pump
wheel shaft to drive a pair of gear pump composed of internal gear, to supply oil to the
torque converter and hydraulic transmission.

Figure 4.6 Oil feed pump

4.7 The oil channel system of the torque converter

After the engine starts, the oil is piped from the oil filter tank (i.e. oil pan) by the oil supply
pump via the control valve, and divided into two groups, one for the for the hydraulic clutch,
the other is for the torque converter.
The oil for the hydraulic clutch flows into the torque converter vane via an priority valve(the
pressure is 1.1~1.4MPa ). The oil from the torque converter is cooled by the oil radiator,
36
lubricates the hydraulic clutch and returns to the oil tank.
The oil channel between the control slide valve and the transmission is closed when it is in
the neutral position. Turn the priority valve on at this time and the oil is piped to the torque
converter via the spillover valve. When the control valve is in the forwards gear or the
reverse gear, the oil channel between the control slide valve and the clutch are connected to
make each clutch work respectively. When one clutch works, the friction discs of the other
clutch are separated, which are lubricated and cooled by the cooling oil. When the inching
valve is compressed by the inching pedal, some or most of the oil led to the clutch is piped
to the oil tank via inching valve pushing rod. At this time the torque converter oil circuit is
the same as that in the neutral.

7.1 Summar

It is two front wheels brake system which consists of a brake master pump, a brake and a
pedal.
The brake pedal is installed on the transmission via bracket. When the pedal is operated, it'll
push the rod to make piston move, so as to increase the oil circuit pressure.

Figure 7-3 The brake master pump

The brake master pump consists of a valve holder, a unidirectional valve, a release spring
and leather cups. The end is fixed by a lock ring and lock steel wire and it is protected by a
rubber dust cover at the outside. The piston of the general pump is driven by operating the
brake pedal via the push rod. When depressing the brake pedal, the push rod pushes the
piston, the oil in the general pump returns to the oil tank via the oil-return orifice and
reaches the subsidiary pumps via the brake pipeline. Every piston of the subsidiary pumps
spreads to make the friction disc of the brake shoe contact the brake drum to brake the
vehicle. At this time the rear chamber of the piston is full of brake liquid from the fueling
hole and the oil input hole. When releasing the pedal, the piston reverses and the oil in the
subsidiary pumps returns to the brake master pump by the pressure of the return spring, the
spring returns to previous position, the oil in the brake master pump returns to the oil tank,
the pressure in the unidirectional valve is adjusted in accordance with the remained pressure

49
of brake pipeline and the subsidiary pumps, that make leather cups in the subsidiary pumps
fixed correctly to avoid leakage, and possible troubles when braking abruptly. The structure
of brake master pump refers to Figure 7-3.
7.1.2 Brake of the wheel
It is internal-expanding and hydraulic brake which consists of a brake shoe, a spring, the
subsidiary pumps and the board. The two brakes are fixed at each end of the front axle. One
end of the brake shoe is connected to the support rod and the other is connected to the
clearance adjusting and it is depressed to the board by the spring and the spring rod. There is
parking brake rod on the main brake shoe and there is adjusting rod of the auto clearance
regulator on the subsidiary brake shoe.see the fig 7-4,fig 7-5,fig 7-6

7.1.3 Operation of braking device


Brake during the forward traveling, the primary brake shoe and auxiliary brake shoe are
respectively acted by two forces which are equal and opposite through operating the
brake wheel cylinder, so that the friction plate contacts the brake drum, the primary brake
shoe is pressed on the regulator by the friction between the friction plate and brake drum,
accordingly, the clearance regulator will generate a force bigger than operating wheel
cylinder to push the auxiliary brake shoe, to make the upper end of auxiliary brake shoe
52
press the support pin with a big force, thereby acquiring bigger braking force. On the
other hand, the braking action during backward traveling will be performed in the
opposite direction, but the braking force is same as that of the forward traveling.

Fig 7.7 Operation of braking device (forward)

Fig 7.8 Operation of braking device(backward)

7.1.4 Parking brake


The parking brake adopts mechanical and internal expansion type and is installed on the
wheel brake, and it shares the brake shoe and brake drum with the foot brake. When the
parking brake handle is pulled, the brake handle will drive the hand brake pull rod via the
brake cable, this pull rod will push the hand brake pull rod rightwards via the pin of rotating
shaft, to make the brake shoe press to the brake drum.

Fig 7.9 Parking brake driver

53
7.1.5Clearance auto-regulator system
The self-regulating mechanism of clearance can maintain appropriate clearance of friction
plate and brake drum. The self-regulating mechanism of clearance only acts when traveling
reversely. Two self-regulating mechanism with different structures are included due to
different type.

Fig 7.10 2-2.5T Fig 7.11 1-1.8T, 3-3.5T

▲Clearance auto-regulator system


(a) 2-2.5t clearance auto-regulator system
The clearance auto-regulator system could
be taken into action only when reversing
the forklift. The subsidiary brake shoe and
the brake drum are contacted and run
together. The pull rod whirls right round
point A, see figure 5.3, point B will arise.
The pull rod whirls left by the spring
force when releasing the brake and point
B will decline.
When the clearance between the friction
disc and the brake drum is becoming
wider, the vertical distance of pawl
rotating of point B is longer. When the
distance is more than 0.4mm, one tooth of
the regulator is forked out, that makes the
adjusting rod longer and the clearance Figure 7.12 Clearance auto-regulator
narrower. system (2-2.5t)
Range of the clearance:0.4~0.45mm.

54
(b) 1-1.5t, 3-3.5t forklift clearance adjustment mechanism
When the forklift is braked at reversal, the
auxiliary brake shoe will contact the brake
drum and rotate together. Accordingly, the pull
rod will rotate rightwards surrounding A point,
and the pawl at B point will pull the regulator
gear.
After brake is released, the brake shoe will be
reset, the pull rod will rotate leftwards
surrounding A point and B point will fall. When
the clearance becomes bigger, the regulator will
be pulled with another gear.
Regulation range: within 0.25-0.4mm.

9.3 Multi-way valve and shunt valve


ulti-way

Two-piece multi-way valve is composed


of four valve bodies, two slide valves, a
secure fluid valve, and a shunt valve, the
four valve bodies is assembled by three
threaded studs and nuts and the heeling
slide valve is fixed with heeling latching
valve.

9.3.1 Operation of slide valve (take tilt slide valve for instance)
1) Neutral position
The high-pressure oil discharged from the oil pump returns to the oil tank via neutral
position.
2) Push into the slide valve
Close the middle channel, open the non-return valve and the oil from the oil inlet flows to
the cylinder interface B, the oil from the cylinder interface A flows to the oil tank via
low-pressure channel, and the slide vale can return to neutral position via return spring.
3) Pull out the slide valve
Close the neutral position, open the non-return valve and the oil from the oil inlet flows to
the cylinder interface A, the oil from the cylinder interface B flows to the oil tank via
low-pressure channel, and the slide vale can return to neutral position via return spring.

Figure 7.3

Figure 7.4 Figure 7.5

9.3.2 The structure of secure fluid master valve and shunt valve see as follows:
The secure fluid master valve is composed of independent valve A and pilot valve B, when
the multi-way valve turns, the Q chamber interconnects the operating mechanism(such as
lift cylinder, tilt cylinder), so the pressure oil crosses the fixed orifice D, E, then acts on
the pilot valve B. when the system pressure exceed the set pressure, the pilot valve B will
open up to reduce the pressure of F chamber, the master valve move towards right, which
73
make the pressure oil connect with hypopiesia route G to reduce the pressure of Q chamber
and assure the stability of the system’s pressure, also you can adjust the system’s stable
pressure by regulating the bolt H.
The structure of shunt secure valve is direct-acting flow-off, which make use of the principle
of liquid pressure balance with the power of spring to get steering system’s stable pressure.
The M chamber will connect with the high pressure oil route when operating the wheel
wheel. As the system’s pressure exceed the power of the spring, valve core N move toward
right, the pressure oil move through route G and connect with the hypopiesia oil route to
reduce the pressure of M chamber, which assure the stability of steering system’s pressure.
Also you can adjust the system’s stable pressure through regulating the bolt K.
Valve L is a balance slide valve, it can be moved left and right to change the width between
R and S by changing the flow rate and pressure continuously. That assures the balance of the
flow to chamber Q and to hydraulic steering system by outlet PS, shunting pro rata. A is the
fixed orifice.

9.3.3 Method of adjusting the secure valve’s pressure (Figure 9-7)


The user shouldn’t adjust the secure valve’s pressure, which has been set up when it is out the
factory, otherwise danger of system and the vehicle will be caused. If the oil pressure
departed from the set up value (17.5MPa), specialist should amend it by the method
prescribed by JB/T3300:
a. Unscrew the bolt of measured hole near the inlet of multi-way valve, then fix a oil pressure
gauge ranging from 0 to 20 MPa.

74
b. Operate the tilting lever, and then measure the
pressure when the cylinder reaches the end.
c. When the oil pressure is different from the set
value, loose the spillover valve’s nut and adjust
the pressure to the set value by turning the bolt
left and right. Turn left when the pressure is
higher and right when lower.
d. Adjuster lock nut.

9.3.4 Operation of tilt self-locking valve


The tilt slide valve is installed with a
self-locking valve which is primarily used to
prevent vibration due to negative pressure in
the tilt cylinder, and avoid severe
consequence due to incorrect operation, for
general structure, the tilt slide valve can be
also operated to realize forward tilt after the
engine is stalls, after this tilt self-locking
valve is adopted, when the engine stalls, the
mast can't be tilted forward even though the
operating valve rod is pushed, and the
structure is as Figure below: Figure 9.8

The interface "A" and "B" of valve body are respectively connected to the back and front
cavity of tilt piston, when the slide valve is pulled out, the high pressure oil (P) will enter the
interface "A", the oil of back cavity returns to the oil tank (T) via "B", and the mast is tilted
backward.
When the tilt slide valve is pushed, the high-pressure oil will enter the interface "B", the
self-locking valve of slide valve will work with the help of high-pressure oil, "A" is
connected with low pressure, when the engine stalls or stops, there will be no high-pressure
oil making the self-locking valve of slide valve work, the interface "A" can't be connected
with low pressure, the mast won't tilt forward and negative pressure can't be formed in the
tilt cylinder.

75
9.4 The oil line of hydraulic system

The high pressure oil flow from the master pump to the multi-way valve, then it is divided by
the shunt valve into two parts: one is delivered to lift cylinder or tilt cylinder, and the other is
delivered to the steering gear in constant flow rate to control the steering cylinder. The high
pressure oil will return the oil tank through the route directly when the lift and tilt slide
valves are shifted in neutral position. As the lift slide valve is drawn back, the high pressure
oil goes through the shunt valve, and then pushes the piston rod below. When pushing the lift
slide valve, the lower lift cylinder piston connects with low pressure, then it will be pushed
down under the cargo and self-weight, the oil from lift cylinder goes through the throttle
valve and the speed is controlled. What operating the tilt slide valve, high pressure oil flows
into the front chamber of the tilt cylinder, while the other chamber connects with low
pressure, making mast tilt front or back.

9.6 Lift cylinder

The lift cylinder, composed of cylinder body, cylinder rod, piston, cylinder end etc, is a type
of single-acting piston. The bottom of the lift cylinder is fixed on the outer upright mounting
lift cylinder supporting by pin and bolt, while the top connects with the beam of the outer
upright mounting.
Piston is fixed on cylinder rod by springy wire, with oil seal and support ring fixed at the
housing washer of the piston.
There’s a trip valve under the lift cylinder which can take protective action if the mast rises
or the high pressure pipe breaks suddenly.

The bottom of lifting cylinder is equipped with a cut-off
valve, when the burst resisting hose bursts suddenly, the
goods can be prevented falling too fast. The oil from the
lifting cylinder passes the cut-off valve and slide valve, the
oil holes surrounding the slide valve will make two cavities
generate pressure difference, when this pressure difference
is below spring, the slide valve won't work, if the burst
resisting hose bursts, big pressure difference will be
formed, so that the slide valve will move to block the
surrounding oil holes, only little oil can flow the hole at the
end of slide valve, and the fork will be lowered slowly.

9.7 Governor valve

The lift cylinder’s oil pipe is installed with governor valve (throttle valve) to control the
down speed of the fork when it is overloaded. The structure of it is shown Figure 7-7. When
the multi-way valve is at the “lift” position, , the high pressure oil from multi-way valve will
enter into lift cylinder through chamber A, B, hole C, D, E, F, and chamber G without
throttle; when the multi-way valve is at “down” position, the oil from lift cylinder flow
across the valve through chamber G, hole F, E, D, C and chamber B, A, causing pressure
difference between chamber A and B and opening of the globe valve (item 8). When the
difference exceeds power of spring 2, the spool 7 moves right to decrease the flow rate
because hole D, C become smaller, that means the floe rate through the throttle is lessened.

9.8 Tilt cylinder

Double acting Tilt cylinder is installed on two sides of mast, its piston side connects with the
mast, and the bottom of it is connected with the frame by pin.
Tilt cylinder assembly is composed of piston, cylinder rod, body, bottom, guide sleeve and
seals, the piston and the cylinder rod are welded together, and the outer margin of the piston
is installed with a support ring and two Yx seal rings, the inner hole of the guide sleeve is
installed with sleeve pipe and Yx seal ring, limit ring, dustproof ring. The sleeve pipe
upholds the cylinder rod, the seal ring, limit ring and wiper scraper seal can avoid oil
leakage and dust, they surround upon the cylinder with “O”-ring.
When pushing the tilt valve forward, the high pressure oil comes in from the bottom to
push the piston forward, which tilt mast forward 6°; when pulling the tilt valve back, the
high pressure oil comes in the front and push the piston back until the tilt mast backward
12°.

10. Liquefied gas system
Liquefied gas system working principle:
When the LPG is stored in the steel cylinder, before engine is started, open the hand switch at
the outlet of steel cylinder. On the one hand, the impurity in the LPG will be removed via
filter/vacuum cut-off valve, on the other hand, when the internal combustion engine stops
running due to certain reason and the vacuum signal from the carburetor disappears, the internal
valve will be closed immediately to cut off LPG flow. When LPG flows to the
carburetor/pressure regulator, LPG will be vaporized to gas being heated, and the pressure can
only reach the pressure when the internal combustion engine runs via pressure reduction twice,
but the internal valve is still under normally closed state, and LPG can only flow out when the
internal combustion engine runs to cause vacuum, lots of heat will be absorbed during the
vaporization process, in order to prevent freezing of device, the hot water of engine must be
imported into the carburetor/pressure regulator. The gaseous LPG enters LPG mixer, and it'll be
mixed with clean air proportionally to become inflammable gas and enters the engine chamber,
and the engine can run normally and apply work externally. When the dual-fuel system selects
the gasoline, it's only necessary to open the fuel change-over switch and system will close LPG
supply system automatically via a solenoid valve, and the gasoline supply system can run
normally.

10.1.1 Liquefied gas steel cylinder


The LPG steel cylinder belongs to the vehicle cylinder scope, the GB17259-1998
national standards shall be abided by domestically, it's composed of a cylinder and a
valve. In general, the steel cylinder shall have the four functions of discharging limit,
filling limit, safe discharging and liquid level display. If the excess flow valve is installed
internally, when lots of LPG is discharged due to damage of external LPG pipe, this
valve can be closed rapidly to limit flow; when LPG is filled, double check valve will be
installed internally, some steel cylinder is installed with 80% level hole, when the LPG is
charged to 80%
80%, white vaporific matter will come out from the level hole, and the double
check valve will operate to cut off and stop charging; the safety pressure relief valve is
set for certain injection starting pressure, when the pressure of the internal gas phase
structure exceeds this setting pressure, the internal gas can be discharged, to ensure safety;
the quantity in the cylinder can be observed via a float ball level gauge.
The structure of LPG steel cylinder is as follows:

10.1.1.1 Operation Manual of forklift LPG steel cylinder integrated valve assembly
a. Function
This assembly is composed of a CYSW314 steel cylinder, a CYFJ315-0I integrated valve,
a safety valve, a LPG gas filler of motor-vehicle, a gas outlet fast connector and
corresponding spare parts, it belongs to the fuel storage supply system of LPG forklift and
installed at the rear part of forklift. The main functions are as follows:
• Check valve
Check valve belongs to the manual valve controlling gas inlet and outlet pipeline.
• Charging limit valve
The charging limit valve will be closed when the LPG reaches 70%~80% of steel
cylinder capacity.
• Liquid level indicator
The liquid level indicator can display the liquid level of LPG in the steel cylinder.
• Flow-limiting valve
The flow-limiting valve will be closed when flow is too big (system has failure, flow
exceeds the design value).
• Safety valve
When the pressure in the steel cylinder exceeds the specified pressure, the safety valve
will be opened automatically to relieve pressure, protecting the safety of steel cylinder.
b. Main parameters
Working temperature: -40~+60℃; working pressure: 2.2MPa; opening pressure of safety
valve: 2.5±0.2MPa; maximum filling volume: 80% of steel cylinder volume.
c. Cautions for operation
• When the assembly fills LPG, open the check valve of inlet and close the check valve of
outlet, after gas is filled, close the check valve of inlet.
• When the assembly is installed on the forklift, it shall be installed fast. The direction
arrow on the end surface of steel cylinder shall be upward, and inlet and outlet check
valve shall be closed. Connect the inlet interface of forklift with the outlet interface of
assembly and fasten them, open the outlet check valve and check whether it leaks, if not,
it can be used.
• After the LPG is filled and used, leak check shall be implemented timely.
• The gas inlet filler shall prevent dust, after LPG is filled, screw on the dust shield timely,
to ensure leak tightness of the non-return valve of gas filler.
• The opening pressure of safety valve has been set and can't be changed randomly.
• The abnormal condition must be repaired by qualified unit without being regulated and
repaired randomly.
• Two metering modes can be used for this assembly to fill LPG LPG, namely volumetric
method and weight method. If the steel cylinder is filled with the weight method, the
cylinder must be placed vertically; if the steel cylinder is filled with the volumetric
method, the cylinder must be placed horizontally and the direction sign is upward.

91
If these requirements are not abided by, the steel cylinder can't operate normally and quality
assurance will be lost, and the manufacturer will not undertake any responsibilities for the
consequence due to installation and use without abiding by the above rules.

safety supervision unit every 5 years according to the specified testing date.

10.1.1.3 Operation steps for LPG forklift to change cylinder


1. The canvas gloves must be worn when the steel cylinder is replaced, to prevent the
worker being injured due to gasification of leaked LPG.
2. The cylinder shall be replaced at wide space with fine ventilation, smoking and other
open fire are forbidden.
3. Check whether each part is in good condition.

6. Connect the input interface (⑤) of forklift with the gas outlet valve (④) and fasten them.
7. Open the outlet check valve (③) slowly.
8. The forklift can be only used after the valve is checked with no leakage, if the valve leaks,
close the outlet check valve (③) immediately and unscrew the input interface of forklift
(⑤).

10.1.1 Filter and vacuum cut-off valve

9. If the abnormal condition is found, report it for repair timely, random disassembly and
repair are forbidden. Meanwhile, the steel cylinder with abnormal condition shall be
isolated for storage.

93
10.1.2 filter and vacuum cut-off valve
The big-diameter filter is configured with high-capacity filtering area, and it's configured
based on the domestic condition that the air contains more impurity. The service life can be
extended and filtering precision can be enhanced effectively, the intake resistance is small,
the filter screen can remove the impurity in LPG to avoid blocking of downstream
vaporization equipment; meanwhile, when the internal combustion engine stops running
due to fault, the vacuum signal from the carburetor will disappear, and the internal valve
will be closed immediately, to cut off LPG flow, so it's the necessary equipment for LPG
conversion device.

10.1.3 Solenoid valve


The solenoid valve belong to the change-over device when the driver respectively uses two
kinds of fuel, namely gasoline solenoid valve and LPG solenoid valve, and they are
normally closed in general.

10.1.4 Switch ( illustration beside)


Switch is controlled by controlling the solenoid valve to achieve shifting the GAS and LPG
position. In the GAS position, gas solenoid valve is opened, LPG solenoid valve is closed,
gas oil way is opened and the gasoline engine is running. In the LPG position, LPG solenoid
valve is opened, gas solenoid valve is closed, LPG oil way is opened and the LPG engine is
running. In the OFF position, both gas solenoid valve and LPG solenoid valve are closed,
the engine is lack of fuel and will stop working.

10.1.5 Evaporator pressure regulator (also called low-pressure regulator)


The evaporator pressure regulator can regulate the LPG pressure from high pressure to
low pressure, reducing the 2.2Mpa LPG to 0~1KPa, and LPG will be vaporized to vapor
state being heated, meanwhile, pressure is reduced, but the internal valve is at normally
closed state, when certain vacuum suction is generated due to engine running, LPG can
flow out. The low temperature freezing under pressure reduction and throttling can be
avoided by utilizing the engine circulating water to heat the cylinder. The evaporator
pressure regulator belongs to the critical component of supplying sufficient fuel gas to the
mixer with change of engine operation condition, and it shall have the following
functions:
(1) Evaporation and pressure reduction function: the evaporation pressure reducer will
reduce the LPG pressure from 2.2Mpa to sub-atmospheric LPG.
(2) Flow regulation function: the output flow of evaporation pressure reducer is changed with
the change of engine operation condition, and sufficient fuel consumption of engine can
be provided. When engine runs, it'll be under negative pressure operating state.
(3) Gas heating function: because the pressure reduction of LPG has heat absorption
phenomenon, the throttling, heat-absorbing and temperature reduction phenomenon will
be generated when the high-pressure valve port is regulated, so as to influence the speed

of LPG evaporated from liquid state to gas state. In order to ensure fine heating stability
of fuel gas, the vehicle fuel gas reducer primarily adopts the method that the reducer shell
is heated by the engine circulating hot water to realize continual evaporation of LPG.

10.1.6 Mixer
Mix the vaporized LPG with air proportionally into the inflammable gas for engine run,
meanwhile, the idle speed air fuel ratio and power air fuel ratio are also regulated and
controlled via it. The mixer is installed on the gas inlet of engine carburetor, when the
engine is started and runs, the engine inlet manifold will generate vacuum, and then the
upper part of carburetor will form vacuum, when the vacuum level is higher than -0.2kPa-0.2kPa,
the air in the mixer diaphragm chamber will enter the gas inlet pipe of engine carburetor;
the mixer diaphragm chamber generates vacuum and the other one cavity is connected with
the air purifier, the mixer diaphragm will rise by overcoming the gravity of diaphragm stack
and elasticity of mixer spring under the air pressure, open the inlet valve seat and mixer air
valve seat, LPG and air are mixed in the mixing cavity and then enter the engine, and the
engine will run; the mixer diaphragm will move up and down according to the change of
vacuum level of engine carburetor gas inlet pipe, and the opening of air inlet valve port and
air valve port is changed accordingly, supply proper LPG to engine to form ideal mixture
with air. When the engine stops running, the pressure of gas inlet pipe of engine carburetor
is equal to air pressure, the air enters the mixer diaphragm chamber via the air hole, and air
pressure will reaches atmospheric pressure, accordingly, the mixer diaphragm won't bear
the air pressure difference, under the press of mixer spring, the natural gas inlet pipe will be
closed and liquefied gas won't enter the engine. When the engine backfires, one part of
backfire gas is discharged to the gas inlet pipe via the mixer air valve port, one part enters
the mixer diaphragm chamber via the air hole and expands in the air chamber, and then it'll
be discharged to the air via the mixer explosion-proof rubber cup, to prevent the mixer
diaphragm being damaged.

10.1.7 Wiring harness


The cluster will supply energy for normal operation of solenoid valve in the LPG system,
it's connected in the instrument cluster in parallel, the solenoid valve is opened and closed
via the key switch so as to realize fuel change-over.

10.1.8 Steel cylinder bracket


The steel cylinder bracket is installed on the balanceweight to fix the LPG steel cylinder.To
facilitate the replacement of cylinder, using rotating cylinder bracket. Periodically lubricate
the rotating bearings on the cylinder bracket to avoid failures.

10.2 Cautions for LPG forklift operation

1. Working place:
• Ventilation is fine, when necessary, use the blower fan to disperse the leaked liquefied
gas;
• Smoking and fire are forbidden in surrounding area, the heat source and the equipment
which will generate sparkle such as grinder and bench grinder and so on;
• The low-lying place such as trench is forbidden nearby, because the liquefied gas will be
probably accumulated;
• Prepare necessary fire-fighting equipment, fire extinguisher or water source;
• The emergency evacuation plan is made.
• 2. Handling of accident
• The people breathe too much liquefied gas, he/she will have faint, headache or body is
weak, the patient shall be moved to the well-ventilated place, when necessary, send the
patient to the hospital.
• If any part of body contact the LPG, it'll be injured due to freezing, and the injured part
shall be submerged in cold water when necessary, send the patient to the hospital;
• If the leaked liquefied gas is smelt, shut down the engine immediately and close the
manual valve of steel cylinder, check the leaking position and repair it.

If the forklift catches fire, the steel cylinder manual valve shall be closed immediately and
spray cold water on the steel cylinder to cool it so that it won't be exploded due to
expansion, if the steel cylinder catches fire, evacuate the staves nearby rapidly and inform
the fire fighter.

11.1 Summar

Electrical system is a one wire circuit with cathode ground strap connection. It is mainly
composed of part as follows:
1) Charging system
It is composed of engine, accumulator, charging indicator lamp, which supports the forklift
service equipment, and the voltage is DC12V.
2) Starting system
It is mainly composed of warm-up system (only for diesel engine), start switch, start guard
wire, start engine etc, its function is to start the engine.
3) Instrument system
It is composed of hour meter, fuel meter, coolant temperature gauge and signal control
lamp etc, it is the checking equipment of forklift. It uses combined meter which is installed
in U.S.A Curtis’s gas engine meter cassette mechanism
4) Lighting signal lamp
It includes various lighting, signal lamps and trumpet, buzzer etc.
Headlight:35W
Combination lamp (for turning/ showing width) 21W/8W
Rear combination lamp (for turning/ showing width /falling back): 21W red/8W red/10W
white
Caution light (option item) 21W
11.2 Description of operation

1) Starting
Shift the speed control lever in neutral position before starting the engine, otherwise, the
engine will not be started. This is because control box has the secure start guard function.
Rotate the start key clockwise to gear I, connect meters with the electrical power source,
the diesel engine will automatic preheat, preheat signal lamp will be lightened, 3.5m later,
the lamp wink automatically, the preheat time is control by the time relay to 13.5m.
2) Lamp switch: shift in gear I, front and rear lamp lamps for showing width light, shift in gear
II, head light lights, keeping front and rear lamp lamps for showing width bright.
3) Turning signal: when pulling back the turning lamp switch, front and rear combination lamp
at the left of forklift light, when pushing the switch, front and rear combination lamp at the
right of forklift light.
4) Brake signal: when needing to brake, step on the brake pedal, the rear combination light (for
braking, red) lights.
5) Backing-up signal: when the car needs a reversion, pull the forward-reverse lever, the rear
combination lamp (for falling back, white) lights, the buzzer will hoot.
6) Not charging signal: shift the starting switch to charging before starting the engine, the
97
charging signal lights, it will wink when the engine is fired; if the signal lights when the
engine is working, there are some troubles in charging circuit. In that case, stop the vehicle
to check up.
7) The oil pressure of engine signal: the signal lights when the engine is fired and the switch is
shifted in charging position, it will wink after the engine is started; when the engine is
working, if the signal lights, the pressure is too low and the lubricating is bad, stop the
vehicle to check up.
8) Water oil separator signal: the signal lights when the engine is fired and the switch is shifted
in charging position, it will wink after the engine is started. When the engine is working, if
the signal lights, the water level of the separator would be over the alarming level. Push the
pressure lever to drain the water until the signal wink.
9) Fuel gauge: it shows the oil level, when the indicator shows subter-2 pillar, the alarming
buzzer will hoot, which means the oil storage volume is low and you should refuel.
10) Coolant temperature gauge: it shows the temperature of cooling fluid of the engine.
11) Hour meter: it accumulates the engine’s working hours.
